SAIC's 14 models on display at Auto Expo
2020 will include the Roewe Marvel X. A new spy shot has revealed that the
Roewe Marvel X has landed in India for the 2020 Delhi Motor Show. At Auto Expo
2020 next month, there will be 14 models from Chinese conglomerate SAIC on
display. These will include both MG models and even models from other SAIC
brands. SAIC has currently only one of its brands present in India - MG.
However, it does and will likely continue to launch rebadged models from other
brands.
The Roewe Marvel X is a pure electric SUV
and the production version of the Roewe Vision-E concept from the 2017 Shanghai
Auto Show. It is available in two versions, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel
drive, both with a 52.5 kWh battery pack and two motors. Charging the battery
pack takes 8.5 hours (100%, using AC charger)/40 minutes (80%, using a DC
charger).
The motors deliver 186 PS and 410 Nm of
peak torque in the RWD version, allowing a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9
seconds and a range (NEDC) of 403 km. In the AWD version, the same motors
generate 301 PS and 665 Nm of torque. As a result, the 0-100 km/h acceleration
time reduces to 370 km but the range (NEDC) reduces to 370 km.
In related news, the MG ZS EV was launched
in India this week. While this model is an expensive import, there are plans
for a low-cost locally manufactured with a retail price of under INR 10 lakh.
